Beautiful day and one of the most beautiful places in Texas.   Fellow member Darryl Stratton and I met at this property and fished from 6:30 to 8:00 with a break for lunch.  The weather was great for fishermen - calm in the morning and evening with a mostly light SE wind during the day.  Water temps ranged from 72 to 79, and the clarity is less than I remember (2-3') due to the lack of weeds.  Maybe the cold winter killed a lot of the weeds; there are weeds, but nowhere near the amount that i remember last year.

We threw everything we had, and really caught fish on 4 baits:  zara spook, yellow magic, watermelon fluke, and watermelon senko.   we caught 26 (16 harvested), and our 2 largest were 4.5 and 4.8.   Some of the fish were a little on the scrawny side; for example, the 4.5 was just over 22" long.  We missed a number of small bass that just couldn't get the bait in their mouth.  Still overall a great day on a great property; wish we could get the lodging back.
